Georgian Silver Salts

18th century
Description

A good pair of Georgian silver salts with blue glass liners. The silver has pierced and engraved decoration, culminating on ball and claw feet.

In very good condition commensurate with age.

No dents whatsoever to the body of the salts and a few dents to the underside rim.

I have to believe that the glass liners have been replaced at some stage as they are in very good condition and would not have looked the same after 240 years.

A really nice, sturdy and beautifully made pair of salts.

Hallmarks for London 1784 and most likely manufactured by John Wall.

We can deliedrv free of charge in UK and can quote for international delivery.

Payment by bank transfer, PayPal or card via telephone.

FAQs

Georgian silver salt cellars are small open containers crafted to hold table salt, produced during the reigns of George I through George IV between 1714 and 1830. They frequently feature decorative openwork fretwork, cast legs, and removable glass liners to prevent the corrosive effects of salt on silver.

These table accessories were typically manufactured from sterling silver or fused Sheffield plate, often featuring pierced or chased details. Saturated cobalt blue glass liners were inserted inside the metallic frame to safeguard the silver against oxidation and pitting caused by salt contact.

Authentic British examples carry a complete set of official hallmark stamps including the sovereigns head duty mark, town mark, lion passant purity mark, makers initials, and a specific date letter. Period items also demonstrate hand-cut piercing, cast foot construction, and appropriate historical wear patterns.

Salt cellars can be integrated into contemporary dining settings to hold specialty finishing salts during meal service. Alternatively, interior designers place them on dressing tables or sideboards as small decorative vessels for holding delicate jewellery.

Remove the cobalt glass liners and wash them separately using warm water and mild liquid soap. The silver structure should be cleaned gently using a soft, non-abrasive silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish while ensuring all salt residue is completely cleared.
